I love your profile pic I have had 3 Scotties. We just put our last one down and sure do miss her. They are wonderful breeds!!

This quilt is definitely a fabric lovers dream...you certainly did a great job in getting the most effective variety of prints and colors into this design. Thanks!

I didn't mention the pattern - but here is a link to the designers page. It is the pattern called Panel Quest. Personally, I was totally confused by the written directions...but maybe it was my inexperience too. Although she did say we were her first class for that particular pattern.

My main focus fabric was this peacock fabric from Hoffman.

I guess I had such a struggle with it that I forget how pretty it turned out! I have actually been using it every day lately. Thanks for all the comments.

It's all coming back to me now! There were 2 different layouts and I used the layout that said 8 cuts of 1/3 yard. The directions refer to color #1to#6 - what about 7 & 8? And how do you cut a 13" square from 1/3 yard fabric cut? I constantly referred to the 2 color pics on the pattern.

It was totally frustrating! I was bound and determined to finish it because I had too much money invested for it to become a UFO!

Beautiful quilt. Great piecing!

Lovely quilt. worth the effort!!!!

Carrieg, It,s a beautiful quilt. I Love Oriental fabrics. Eiltq.

It may have been difficult but the end result is well worth the effort. I love that quilt. :thumbup:

It is absolutely gorgeous and you did a great job!!! The little black borders really set it off. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I agree with Candace, it sure makes the colors and blocks pop. This is a real beauty. :)
